Creative Development Though Community.
Hi, I’m McKenna.
I’m a singer, vocal coach and group performance class teacher.
At the center of my work is a belief that artistic excellence is inseparable from vulnerability. But how do we grow our capacity to be vulnerable artists? By practicing collaboration in a community we feel we belong in.
I’ve performed internationally in Italy, Austria, and across the United States, and earned my degree in Voice & Opera Performance degree cum laude from Northwestern University. Over the years, I’ve directed, produced, and performed in countless plays, musicals, concerts, and classes. I’ve been vocal coaching kids and adults for five years.
The most important moments—on stage or in the studio—have been the ones grounded in vulnerability and real connection. They’re what tie all my work together.
